Wane has said in the Observer that there will probably be no more signings unless something really jumps out at them.

The article does mention that's not including Scott Taylor who is thought to have already signed.

The squads too thin in the outside back positions IMO.

He must have plenty of faith in Thornley and Gelling but it does suggest we will have the cap space free if someone becomes available

I think that has been part of Wane's problem this season. I am sure he had every faith in Murphy for the semi-final v Leeds and ditto Lloyd v Bradford and also all the young players he put in the side v Widnes (and Bradford)

If there is money/cap space available that he has not spent and he reckons a squad that looks as inexperienced as ours is going to hack it he is taking a huge risk with his job IMO in not recruiting at least one experienced player preferably for the pack.

They are but it doesn't worry me as much as the lack of depth in the backs does as the quality is very high and there's plenty of depth.

It looks like were going with one of Thornley or Gelling as a starting left centre and then we'll have one of those 2 and Murphy as back up.

Not great when you look at somebody like Wire who have Bridge, Evans, Williams to back up their first choice backline and then they have Ratchford who's hugely versatile and Blythe out on loan at the Bulls who covers centre.

I'd have kept Marsh and King if there was no concrete plans to bring anybody in.

Neil Hudgell was on radio last night and said that Scott Taylor will be sorted in a 2-3 days with him signing for you and us getting two young players one a full back and the other a front row/2nd rower along with some cash.

No idea who the young lads are though
